Lightning's Andrei Vasilevskiy: Named Thursday's starter

Vasilevskiy will start in goal for Thursday's tilt with Ottawa, Joe Smith of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Analysis:

He's only 22 years old, but it appears that the Vasilevskiy-era in Tampa Bay is getting nearer and nearer. If he's able to reach his full potential, Vasilevskiy will be a goaltender capable of stealing games for his team, and he's begun to show that ability in his last five appearances, posting a 1.86 GAA and .940 save percentage.
